Hi yh,
I am sorry for the late reply. I
DDR3 and DDR4 have the same operating temperature range. However, they are not interchangeable. Your motherboard will either support DDR3 or DDR4.
If you are using this memory in your personal system then it will fall into the operating temperature range. Will you please pm me your email address? I would be happy to send you the data sheets.

Many photographers, graphic designers, and photo editors look for tips to optimize their computers and improve their systems productivity. In our last article we wrote about the importance of having an SSD and how it can improve the speed of editing. In this article we will cover how having enough RAM can also drastically improve your system performance.
Almost everything you do in your system requires computer memory. Computer memory is your system’s short-term data storage. It stores everything your system is actively using at any given point. The more demand the program has on the system the more memory you will need. If you use photo editing, music production, or design applications you are really seeing this demand on your system. If you have insufficient memory you will run into programs crashing and subpar performance. This can be extremely frustrating if you use your computer to complete tasks in any creative application and can really slow down how much you can complete in these applications.
For example, by simply opening Lightroom or Photoshop your system uses about 1GB of RAM per program. Once you open a file or start scrolling through pictures in the program, your system uses about 4GB of RAM. When you combine this with the operating system, which usually uses 2GB, you can see that the amount of RAM used in your system really adds up quickly. We recommend at least 16GB to 64GB of RAM to avoid slow down if you are running the latest Creative Cloud applications. In most cases more is better. We have a handy guide here that helps detail the memory requirement of many of these applications and different operating systems .
After learning more about the memory requirements of these programs you may be wondering if your computer needs more memory? If you are running into any sluggishness or are planning on using these creative programs and have less than 16GB currently, then the answer is probably, “More than likely.”
At Crucial we make cost effective solutions for upgrading your system so it can easily handle the demand of these memory hungry applications. RAM is one of the least expensive and easiest components to upgrade. It is also one of the best ways to improve the user experience of working on your computer and extending its life. Just use our system scanner or memory advisor tool to find upgrades that are guaranteed to be compatible with your system. Think of all the time you will get back once you upgrade your system and are no longer dealing with crashing programs and slow applications.

@kimchip Thanks for contacting us. I am sorry for the issues you've experienced with this drive. Have you tried connecting the drive to a different system? If not, we would suggest doing this first. When it is connected to your laptop are you able to read and write to the drive? Thanks for providing this information. It will help us look into this issue a bit further.

@targetbsp and @HWTech are both correct. I would also like to add that without the label on a M.2 drive or a memory module we can be unable to identify if we even manufactured it. A PCB board manufactured from a different vendor often can look the same as ours.

@Dauern Thanks for contacting us today. I am sorry for the issues that you have experienced with this RAM. I've pulled up your system specs and it looks like these parts are definitely listed as compatible and we have a solid sales history for your system. I would advise reinstalling the module again, just to confirm it's installed correctly. If it still doesn't work, we would suggest checking the manufactures website to see if the system needs a BIOS update. Your computer was manufactured in 2013, so I would expect it probably does, and that this may resolve the issue. Follow your manufactures instructions if you do perform the update. If the BIOS update does not resolve the issue we would be happy to exchange the memory module under warranty. Please use my signature to contact us directly.

@exolog Thank you for contacting us today. It is hard to say if these memory modules will run in quad channel if you purchase them separately. To run in quad or dual channel the parts need to be identical (same part, same batch, etc). If you purchase them individually they could be from a different batch and no longer identical.
Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.

@zwon Thanks for contacting us today. The base part number (generic part number) for this memory is CT2K8G4DFD824A. We not have a tool that gives the generic part number, we only have a tool that shows if the part is compatible with a specific system. You can see this tool here where it says "Will this work in my system?".
Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.
